True. Being an artist requires a lot more work than people realize.
Even when I devote a great deal of my time to my work, it takes a while to for me to finish. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I get slowed down trying to make sure everything is just right. I've accepted that the fact that I can't rush through a project and still get something I'm happy with, so there is no point quitting my job and being a "starving artist". It will take a while to build up my portfolio no matter what, so I may as well continue working and maintain a comfortable standard of living.
